  • Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ Reese Witherspoon is deserving of a major ‘thank you’ from me!  Per the actress’ recent productions, I have been introduced to two fabulous downtown Los Angeles restaurants!  The first, The Wolves, popped up twice on her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show.  And now, via Little Fires Everywhere, I’ve discovered Le Petit Paris, a…

  • Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ Reese Witherspoon certainly is the darling of streaming TV!  First Big Little Lies (that’s HBO, but still), then The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told (which she executive-produced) and now Little Fires Everywhere.  The latter, which is currently airing on Hulu, is an adaptation of Celest Ng’s 2017 book of the same name.  Centering…

  • Falken’s Cabin from "WarGames"

    Falken’s Cabin from "WarGames"

    ‘ So I realize I am like one of maybe ten holdouts left in the world, but I still have an AOL account.  I know, I know – 1995 called, it wants its email address back.  I think I’m finally ready to give it up, though, because the search function straight. up. SUCKS.  Formerly, it…

  • Gossip Girl’s Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude’s School for Boys

    Gossip Girl’s Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude’s School for Boys

    ‘ Another Upper East Side location that I set out to stalk while in New York two weeks ago was the building used to portray Constance Billard School for Girls and St. Jude’s School for Boys on my new favorite show, Gossip Girl.  So, you can imagine my surprise when, while doing some location research…

  • Lake Arrowhead’s North Shore Marina Beach from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Lake Arrowhead’s North Shore Marina Beach from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Some television moments are so iconic they cannot be forgotten.  A few that are ingrained in my memory for the long haul – Ross and Rachel’s rain-soaked first kiss on Friends, Sam and Diane’s slapping fight on Cheers, Dylan’s epic tantrum (complete with a shattered potted plant) during his first date with Brenda on…

  • The “Spanglish” House

    The “Spanglish” House

    ‘ The Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby, British Columbia, which I blogged about yesterday, was actually the very last Vancouver locale that I had logged away in my location library and, while I have a slew of Seattle area spots that I have yet to write about, I thought that for today I’d mix…

  • Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”

    Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”

    ‘ When planning a trip, my M.O. is to pore over as many area travel guides as possible and highlight spots I think the Grim Cheaper and I might be interested in seeing.  I then pass the books along to him and he reads through all the passages I have marked, giving them a yay…

  • Mr. Miyagi’s House from “The Karate Kid”

    Mr. Miyagi’s House from “The Karate Kid”

    ‘ One of the greatest filming location mysteries to ever exist was that of the house where Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) lived in the 1984 classic The Karate Kid. It was common knowledge that the residence had been demolished in the late ‘80s, but no stalker had ever been able to track down its former…

  • The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    ‘ Besides a great coffee shop, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than an unpretentious bar/restaurant that boasts a retro vibe (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here).  Add in a filming location element and I am completely smitten!  One that had been on my To-Stalk List for what seemed like eons…

  • Happy Fourth of July!

    Happy Fourth of July!

    ‘ I will be taking the next couple of days off from blogging in order to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend with the Grim Cheaper and Mike, from MovieShotsLA, who is in town for a  visit.  (Yay!)  I know, I know – I just got back from a two-week vacation!  But such is life.…
